Pros

Good benefits. New office so nice working environment.

Cons

Turnover big issue especially on engineering and sales teams. Problem attracting and retaining talent which in turn allows some mediocre performers to stay longer by default. This impacts the rest of us negatively. Many members of founding engineering team gone over past year which invites questions about continued quality of product. Sr. Management team as a whole lacks professionalism and some members appear to be over their heads.

Pros

Great benefits: Healthcare had great coverage and affordable monthly payments. I also really appreciated the work-from-wherever policy as well as all the office snacks. Fantastic people: I genuinely loved the people I worked with—they made me feel like I belonged and was appreciated. My manager worked to build me up, something that can't be said for a lot of places. Travel perks: The ability to travel for work made this experience incredibly rewarding.

Cons

Slow mobility: Trying to get promoted felt like a moving goalpost—the expectations changed every six months and made it nearly impossible to get to the next step. Even then, the business was stingy about who gets promoted, which was incredibly discouraging after years of trying to prove myself.
